General Secretary of the NBRU Dermot O'Leary says the problem is widespread on transport routes.

Iarnród Eireann is to invest €660,000 in platform extension works at stations in Carrick-on-Shannon Co Leitrim and Ballymote, Co Sligo.

Iarnród Éireann has warned passengers travelling between Dublin and Sligo to expect minor disruptions due to improvement works over the next week.

The rail strike is continuing to cause chaos right along the east coast and on the Dublin-Sligo line.
